Nate speaks with author and Willard scholar Keas Keasler about the enduring helpfulness of Dallas Willard's life and work.

In this episode, I'm talking to new Christians and those who are supporting these new Christians. There are some very predictable patterns that most new Christians experience shortly after being born again. If you are aware of them, you can avoid them, and you can help others avoid them. These are crucial to recognize early on in a Christian's new walk with Christ.

Has your heart grown hard? Drawing from Hosea 10:12, Jay challenges Christian men to break up spiritual complacency and prepare for growth. True leadership begins with a cultivated heart ready for God's Word.

Send a textWhat if the Parable of the Talents isn't just about skills or abilities — but about people?In this episode of The Dirt Path Sermon Podcast, Pastor Nicole Barnett shares a powerful message from Matthew 25:14–30. This sermon challenges the way we think about discipleship, fear, and what it really means to be faithful with what God has entrusted to us.Many Christians are comfortable helping people come to faith — but what happens after that? Nicole explores the difference between making converts and making disciples, and why fear often causes us to “bury” the relationships God has placed in our lives instead of helping them grow.This message is especially for listeners who:Want to grow deeper in Christian discipleshipFeel afraid of sharing faith or “getting it wrong”Carry church hurt or minister to people who doDesire practical, everyday ways to follow Jesus beyond Sunday morningsYou'll hear honest teaching, relatable stories, and a gentle challenge to live as faithful disciple-makers — not perfectly, but faithfully.Whether you're listening on your commute, at the kitchen table, or winding down after a long day, this episode invites you to consider who God has entrusted to you — and how you might take one faithful step toward helping them grow.Linkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Support the showThe Dirt Path Sermon Podcast is a place for real sermons that speak to real life.

Pastor Steve BootsFebruary 4, 2026One Year Discipleship Course

The knowledge of God is man's greatest knowledge. We come to know the true and living God through His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. Read what the Bible says in 1 John 2:12-14. Take special notice of the phrase, "...ye have known him." We need to understand that this is written to all who know the Lord. Note the expressions, "little children," "young men," and "fathers." John is covering everyone in a local assembly. This has nothing to do with gender. He is writing about the stages of Christian development and growth.

Living Truth Christian Fellowship Podcast

This episode addresses a tension many believers feel but rarely understand: why truth, rules, and even Scripture can feel lifeless or oppressive. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 3, Dr. Jim explains that the issue is not the Word of God, but the absence of dependence on the Spirit of God. True Christianity is not self-powered obedience but Spirit-empowered life.Topics DiscussedThe meaning of “the letter killeth, but the Spirit giveth life”Why truth without the Spirit produces frustration rather than transformationHow rules and standards provoke rebellion when divorced from graceThe difference between self-effort Christianity and Spirit-enabled obedienceWhy the solution is not rejecting the Word, but relying on the SpiritKey TakeawaysThe Bible is never the problem; dependence on self is.Obedience without the Spirit leads to defeat, not freedom.The Spirit gives life to truth, enabling joyful, willing obedience.Christianity only works when Christ Himself is the source of power.Real freedom comes through surrender and faith, not self-discipline alone.

Nathan and Vivianne Foster share a meditation for the New Year melding a famous quote by Francis de Sales with the words of Mary from Luke 1 in this bonus episode of Life With God.

This week we take a look at the year ahead and make some predictions - including immigration, foreign doctors in the NHS; Islamisation - Mamdani, cancelling New Year celebrations, Brigitte Bardot;  Wars - Ukraine, Gaza, Venezuela, Cambodia, Thailand, Japan, China, India, Pakistan, Sudan; Euthanasia - in the UK and Canada;  Iran; Keir Starmer and Albo;  Social Media - Djokovic; The AI bubble;  Woke - Trans police in WA, Gabriel Jesus; Christian Growth;  the Final Word with music from Robert Plant, Deep Purple, Steely Dan, Blue Oyster Cult, and P.O.D

In this Faith Talks episode, Janna and Judson "Faith" reflect on what it means to begin a new year marked not merely by resolutions, but by genuine steps of faith. Drawing primarily from Colossians, they explain how biblical faith is rooted in knowing who God is, trusting His promises, and allowing His Word to shape daily decisions. Rather than chasing comfort or vague spiritual goals, listeners are encouraged to let Scripture dwell richly in their hearts so faith can actively walk forward in real life.Topics DiscussedWhy Colossians begins with truth before commands and how that shapes obedienceFaith as a walk grounded in God's character, not feelings or circumstancesLetting the peace of God rule, even in uncertainty, trials, or pressureThe role of Scripture in overcoming temptation and spiritual battlesUnderstanding identity in Christ and resisting lies with biblical truthDiscerning God's will through knowing His heart in His WordClosed doors, God's timing, and trusting Him for miraculous openingsPractical ideas like claiming verses, “I am in Christ” statements, and intentional prayer for faith stepsKey TakeawaysFaith for the new year is not primarily about goals but about obedient steps rooted in truth.Knowing who God is precedes trusting what God asks you to do.Scripture is essential fuel for peace, victory over temptation, and clarity in God's will.Believers are already complete in Christ and are called to live out that reality by faith.A meaningful spiritual resolution is to say yes to God's Word and walk accordingly, whatever the year may bring.Faith Talks is a monthly program on the Thee Generation Podcast designed to help young ladies grow in faith and live it out daily.

On this week's podcast episode, Nathan and Vivianne Foster discuss how to welcome Christ—looking to Jesus' parents as a picture of consent, receptivity, and hospitality.Show NotesVivianne's Christmas Pie RecipeThis recipe was invented as my mother and I struggled to figure out the perfect way to enjoy Christmas Day together without fussing over ten different casseroles that needed to go in and out of the oven, and magically all be ready at the same moment. Having a French Canadian heritage, meat pies — called tourtieres are a big thing for us. This one takes things a step further: essentially everything you'd find on your Christmas plate goes IN the pie. If it feels too risky to swap out your complicated chaotic menu for this sumptuous simple main dish, take a risk by using your leftovers to make this pie. If you can't handle recipes that simply paint a picture, and omit detailed measurements, I highly recommend not embarking on this adventure. For the rest of you, here we go:Pie crust: Use whatever savory pastry recipe you usually make, adding some fresh or dried herbs, cut up (eg: thyme, rosemary, sage)Filling:You'll need enough to fill each pie you're going to make, which I usually eyeball as I mix and add ingredients into a very large mixing bowl, so that the total amount in the bowl is sufficient to fill the shells. Make the ratio as seems fit to you:In a big bowl, combine:Cooked turkey, shredded into chunky pieces, or cutCubed bread, preferably sourdough, preferably dry so that it doesn't turn to mush, cubed. (You can toast cubes of fresh bread in the oven if you don't have any stale bread)Fresh cranberries, coarsely chopped, but raw (so that each berry is at least halved, but could be in quarters)Diced applesIn a cast iron frying pan, set to low medium, cook a pound of bacon, slowly; I usually have to do this in two batches, and set on cutting board to cool before chopping into small pieces.Keep the rendered fat from the bacon in the pan, turning the heat up to medium and adding:A few diced onions, or a larger amount of leeksA few diced potatoes (small diced)Once potatoes seem tender but not soft, remove from heat, pouring onion and potato mixture into main bowl, along with bacon bits.Stir the mixture to combine, adding a very generous amount of dried sage (I use at least 1/4 to 1/2 a cup for 2-3 pies. Add as you wish: pepper and salt.  Add one egg per pie into the main bowl, mixing thoroughly to moisten the mixture.You will need a minimum of 6 cups of filing per pie you want to fill. Spoon mixture into pie shell, mounding it up in the middle. Cover with pastry top, and cut a few designs in the top to allow hot air to escape. Cover with foil and bake as per your usual preference for baking pies, or wrap in plastic wrap and freeze if you don't plan on cooking within a day.We usually set aside a family afternoon for assembling the pies and freeze them, then bake from frozen the day of Christmas. A fun part of our tradition is using Christmas cookie cutters to make designs appliquéd on top of the pie. Have fun!
